Campus Notices
The Robertson Library will be creating a single service desk over the Summer months. As a result of this renovation, it is necessary to temporarily close Samuel's cafe to allow time for the relocation to "The PIT" in the Robertson Library. Therefore, starting Wednesday, July 13/16 until Wednesday, July 20/16 Samuel's Cafe will be closed.
During this temporary closure, please feel free to visit the AVC cafeteria.
We apologize for any inconvenience this closure may cause but we look forward to serving you in our new location.
Thank you,
Robertson Library, Ancillary Services and Chartwells

As you may be aware, Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (“CUPW”) have been in contracts negotiations since late 2015 to reach a new agreement for about 50,000 workers. CUPW members are expected to have a strike vote sometime this month. If an agreement is not reached, the union estimates a strike or lockout date could come in early July.
In the event of a strike, please be advised of the following:
-UPEI Shipping/Receiving and Mail Services (“SRMS”) will continue to operate.
-Internal mail services will be unaffected.
-Mail destined for the Canada Post will continue to be picked up at offices around campus and taken to SRMS where it will then be stamped and ready for immediate delivery to Canada Post at the conclusion of the labour disruption.
-Should the delivery or your outgoing mail be time sensitive, you should consider using a courier service.
-At the faculty/department’s request, SRMS can prepare and send items normally shipped in the regular mail system via courier. Please note that all courier charges will be recovered from the department initiating the shipment.
-Departments are free to initiate their own deliveries with the courier of their choice.
-Although significant developments and updates regarding a potential disruption will be communicated by UPEI Marketing and Communications, it is the responsibility of each faculty/ department to ensure and monitor normal delivery of their mail item and make decisions as to whether to use a courier service or Canada Post.
If you have any further questions or concerns, or for assistance in the event of a postal disruption, contact Matt Adams, Manager of Procurement and Payment Services, at (902) 566-0315 or by email at mradams@upei.ca
